SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS

                   Logics for Resource-Bounded Agents

                      http://www.cs.nott.ac.uk/~nza/lrba15/

                           10-14 August 2015

organized as part of the European Summer School on Logic, Language and 
Information, ESSLLI 2015 (http://esslli2015.org), 3-14 August, 2015 in 
Barcelona


Research in resource-bounded agency contributes both to reasoning about 
actions in philosophy and artificial intelligence, and to applications of 
logic in computer science, such as the practical verification of 
resource-bounded multi-agent systems. The Logics for Resource-Bounded 
Agents workshop will provide a forum for established researchers and 
advanced PhD students to present and discuss their work with colleagues 
working in related areas (particularly those represented at ESSLLI). In 
addition to logics of strategic ability where actions produce and consume 
resources, we solicit contributions from researchers working in epistemic 
logic, game theory, linear logic etc. on alternative approaches to 
modelling resource-bounded agency.


Workshop topics include but are not limited to:

- logics of strategic ability where actions require or produce resources,

- counting and metric temporal logics;

- linear logic;

- epistemic logics for non-omniscient reasoners and bounded-memory 
reasoners.


Submission Details: ================

We invite submissions of extended abstracts describing the topic of a 30 
or 45 minute talk at the workshop. This talk may present original work or 
may be based on recently published work in the area of the workshop. 
Abstracts should not exceed 2 pages, and the following formats are 
accepted: PDF, ASCII text. Please send your submission electronically to 
nza@cs.nott.ac.uk by the deadline given below. Submissions will be

The workshop is part of ESSLLI and is open to all ESSLLI participants. It 
will consist of five 90-minute sessions held over five consecutive days in

Local Arrangements:

All workshop participants including the presenters will be required to 
register for ESSLLI. The registration fee for authors presenting a paper 
will correspond to the early student/workshop speaker registration fee. 
Moreover, a number of additional fee waiver grants will be made available 
by the OC on a competitive basis and workshop participants are eligible to 
apply for those. Unfortunately, we are unable to reimburse travel costs 
and accommodation. Workshop speakers who have difficulty in finding 
funding should contact the local organizing committee to ask for the 
possibilities for a grant.
